Medical Virtues OF Dry Earth.


DR.. Addinell Hewson of the Pcnnsyl

dressing for dangerous and oflcnsiv,
wounds, sores, cancers, ETC., with mag

At the time of its introduction (ab
experimental commode) there was 8
patient suffering from a severe wound
the exudatons Of which were so often
sive as to cause sickening, even dan
gerous stencil, which the excellent
ventilation of the ward and the usual
disinfectants were hardly able even to
mitigate. II occurred to DR.. Hewson
to test the power of dry earth to absorb
this odor as it had that of excrement.
The effect was magical. Not only was
the otlensiveness entirely overcome,
but the effect ON the character of the
wound itself was such as no previous
treatment had been able to compass.
Soon after this Col. Waring witnessed

bad cases and yet doing remarkably
well. The seventh case was an entire
breast removed for CANCER, and the
wound dressed with dry earth. 1t was
healing rapidly, with no inflammation
and no suppuration.
DR.. Thomas NJ. Logan, late physl-
clan to the smallpox hospital, Sacra-
mento, says: Another improvement
in the hospital system is found in the
dry-earth treatment. Not only did it

PRESIDENTIAL PEDESTRIANS.
NV York GrAnhic

Zachary Taylor never looked SO i'm
posing as when he appeared on horse
back.
Jefferson was a judge of horse flesh,
and spent good deal of his time in the
saddle.
Buchanan was frequently seen on horse
back, and he owned a set of harness which
cost $500.
Lincoln was very friendly to horse fiesh
and had several pets in his stable. He
always wore a high silk hat when he rode
out.
Tyler kept some good horses. bu. he
rode IL second hand carriage, which was
the only thing his friends had against
him.
Arthur took horseback rides almost
daily, and made graceful appearance in
the saddle.
Grant was always associated with horses,
and his long experience in campaigning
made him thoroughly at home in the sad
die.
1t is said that a tip which a man once
gave Anprew jackson on a horse race
saved that mans life when Jackson after
ward became President.
John Quincy Adams was so enthusiast
tic lover of horse flesh that he never
missed the races which were held near
Washington while he was living at the
capital.
President Harrison pranced to his in
auguratton ut the capital on milk-white
steed, in imitation of the Roman emper-
ors as the cavorted along the Appian
way.
Washington was so fond of his horses
that he once gave stableboy flogging
because he neglected to rub his animal
down after he had come in wet from n
hard galop.

The Hog in Winter.
Practical Farmer

There is a class of writer's whose writ
ings give the inference that if we will
keep the hog in a closely heated room all
winter there would be very little need of
feeding the animal. They seem to
intimate that profitable pork production
depends not SO much upon the price of
feed as 1t does upon the price of base
burners and fuel. At all events they are
eternally telling us to keep the hog in
warm quarters, and informing Us that
exposure to the cold means a loss of heat
and consequently an additional e1pendi-
ture for food. Now nobody will advocate
an unnecessary exposure of swine or any
other class of animals. They should al
ways have clean, comfortable quarters,
but q greater mistake than to keep swine
IN high temperature cannot be commit
ted in connection with swine husbandry.
The hog is naturally an animal of high
temperature when undergoing the process
of fattenng. SO far as suffering Is con-
cerned, the fat hog can stand very low
degree of temperature if dry; and TO add
to Its internal heat an unreasonable e1ter-
nal heat, is to produce injury. But there
can be no danger of doing this in winter.
some may think. Yes, there is. The
mouse may be so close and so unveutiIa.ed
or what is more common the hogs NAV
be permitted to huddle together and heat
themselves almost to the cooking point
This Is the cause of a great deal of
trouble among swine, and We are frequent
ly compelled to tell swinebrseders who
complain of sickness among their hogs,
TO route them out and keep them from
budding together. If We could always
have our own way in the matter We would
never have higher temperature than 40
degrees in which to fastsn hogs. Certain
ly in winter time the temperature can
be kept as low as that unless their quar-
tiers are abominai in construction.
The matter of cleanliness should be
carefully locked after. The hog is not
near 50 dirty an animal as some people
would have Us believe, and if he was, so
much more the nee2 of CO striving to

DispoSing Of a Daughter.
New York Sun.

A young railway official in Vienna re-
entity paid his attentions to the daughter
of a rich grain dealer, doing business in
that city, and was finally referred by the
lady TO her father.
The particulars of the interview as re-
ported by the Wiener Illustrates Extra
blatt are as follows:

Yes, for my salary is only 1,5oo gulden

The dealer shook his head aud called
Bertha into the room. She at once con-
fessed that she loved the youth from the
bottom of her soul.
You have known him lonss" asked the
father.

His psrents:"
'Oh, highly respectable."
Then counting out 1000 gulden he
handed them 10 his future son-in- Law, say

Seeding and Russian ApplSs

The following matter is extracted from
the report of Peter NJ. Gideon, Superin-
tendent of the State Fruit Experimental
harm of Minnesota. He says:
TO get the desired cross we plant the
selected varieties in close proximity, so
that the natural flow of pollen will the
more surely do the desired fertilizing,
and the seed thus produced is planted,
the more promising of the seedlings Sc
lected and set in orchards for fruiting,
and, after fruiting, the best in tree and
fruit is selected from which to grow
seeds to try again and SO on, at each
repetition l find there is a gain. The
younger trees that fruited this year for
the first gave larger per centage of first
class apples than any lot ever fruited
before.
SPY crossing and iudicious selection we
retain the hardness of the crab in the
tree without the crab thorns, and on top
grow large apples without the astringen-
cy of the parent crab. And yet by the
commingling of the two natures, we get
an exquisite flavor not found in any
other class of apples, especially so when
made into sauce. But our trium phi is
not yet complete; we must, we can, fill
up the balance of the year with CON
tinued succession of lucious apples.
There is no question as to the certainty
of such a result; the past is a guaranty
that it can be done.
But the proper cross can't be got in
Minnesota; fact clearly demonstrated
in the extensive and expensive trials that
have been made in the last nine years in
the State orchard. And here let me state
that the seeding is inclined to ripen its
fruit at or near the time the parent apple
did, from which the seed was taken, hence
the need of seed from long keepers to
grow the same. Th. re are no long keep
ers of the best quality yet found that are
hardy enough to fruit in Minnesota;
but we can take our best hardy seedlings
further south, where the long keepers can
be grown, and there get the cross, and
then bring the seeed here to grow and
test the hardness of the tree
and quality of fruit. We want first -class
apples, and to get them we must use first
class parentage. And even then solutions
will be numerous, from the fact that all
varieties of apples are mongrels of many
degrees of crossing, and the various re-
lations will crop out in a multitude of
forms. But past success is a guaranty
for the future, that out of the many some
will be good. One seedlings will average
in quality with Hyslop and Transcendent;
but those of first class, such as we propa-
gate, stand about as one of the 500, as
hardy al Duchess and Wealthy, and of the
extreme hardness about one to 800"

Plant Fertilizers and Plant Culture
The Gardeners Monthly.

The Gardeners Monthly.
The Gardeners Monthly, in plant
notes has this to say:
''NO article of liquid nature possesses
more manurial properties than soap-suds
and on this account should never be
thrown away. 1t contains the food of
plapts in solution, and therefore Is pre-
pared to act at once and with energy.
By mixing it with soap suds, chip ma
nure, etc, and allowing the whole to fer
mcnt an excellent manure for field and
garden crops will be obtained. In liq-
uid state it is q valuable manure for
grape vines and all kind of fruit trees,
as well as for vegetables ahd flowers.
Several kinds of fertilizers,can be used
with practically the same results. Am
monia in water is good, inducing
healthy growth. Hen manure if dlssolv-
ed in water is excellent. Let the water
be about the color of weak tea. Use
twice a week which is probably as often
as plants will need watering at this sea-
son. For those who prefer to buy plant
food a preparation of guano, bone
meal and other fertilizing elements is
recommended. A handful of it, dissolv-
ed in pail of water is about the proper
proportion. 1t will be necessary te keep
stirring the water, as you use it, for some
of the ingredients are heavy and Will
otherwise settle, and some of the plants
watered last may get too strong dose.
1t is astonishing that while adornment
is so easily provided people will SO fire.
quently permit old dead trees and frown-
iKg walls to stand year after year in all
their bleakness. If there is dead tree
in the doCr-yard it is better to cut it
down and dig up the stump, if it can not
for any reason be covered with verdure.
But it can be and with little trouble. Sup
pose we have such tree. 1t may be
trimmed of all the limbs that are not safe
TO be left, and they may be covered with
ivy. 1t is often necessary to remove all
the limbs. In that case stretch wire
from the top of the trunk to other trees
or buildings and let the ivy creep upon
them. The effect is very pretty"
